<snip> They perform their own microcode updates? I would have thought there were IBM CE's for that as part of 'normal' maintenance charges. Or maybe they just didn't give IBM the machine time? What sort of microcode fix (if not applied) causes an otherwise working machine to crash? The way this was written kid of negates the 'Mainframes never crash' (from a hardware perspective) idea. <SNIP> Perhaps there is a TCP/IP microcode patch that needs to be put on their system? The type that if you don't put it on, you wind up with corrupted data or sockets that hang/block? --Sent from my Dick Tracy Two-Way TV Wrist-Watch -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
